We use CVS for Oracle Forms and use CVS Edit/UnEdit to allow only a single developer to work on a file at a time since the .FMB's are binary files. To sort out merging, you should check out the FORMS API MASTER http://www.orcl-toolbox.com/main.asp which is a tool which allows you to merge Oracle Forms and Libraries.
